The Boston College program has a long history of producing NFL-worthy defensive players. In just the last three years, BC has sent seven defensive players to the professional level via the NFL Draft, including four in the top 100 picks.

That rich tradition will continue in the 2019 NFL Draft, led by projected first-round pick DL Zach Allen.

An underdog by almost three touchdowns, Boston College isn’t expected to turn the college football world upside down with an upset of Clemson on Saturday night. But for several players on the Eagles’ roster, primarily on defense, this matchup is a “money” game – the chance to help themselves with the eyes of NFL scouts watching closely.
